Sharp knife is absolutely key. That knife cuts like a scalpel!

Scale the fish under water then you don't have to worry about scales going everywhere.

Scale it underwater in the sink & save your Saran Wrap! 😉

Exactly what I was about to say. No scale fly up under water.

@@lisarichardson8060 Scaling under fresh water ruins the meat, especially oio. If you scale under water, it needs to be done at the beach in salt water.

Scale towards u so the scales go down in the sink

If you're gonna fillet the fish to spoon the meat out, you don't need to scale the entire fish. You only need to scale the areas where you'll make your knife cuts. I scale my fish inside of a kitchen sized trash bag to prevent the scales from flying.

Hi Jon, if you want to not scales go all over, fill your sink with water and scale your fish under water. Try it.

Stick um tail first into one big trash bag and scale um from tail to head inside the bag. Little bit awkward at first but most of the scales fly back down into the trash bag

Why are u scaling the fish if u are just scraping the meat off? Do u use the skin?

@dylanlaakea Жыл бұрын

The scale will come off in the meat you can leave the scale but you will have to pick them out.

@user-sg8kq7ii3y Жыл бұрын

Also VERY hard to fillet with the scales on. The scales are very thick. Knife cannot slide through as easily with the scales on.

3 weeks later .. still trying to filet the fish haha

@dens3096 Жыл бұрын

I really think you didn’t have to scale the fish since you don’t cook it with the skin.

@user-sg8kq7ii3y Жыл бұрын

You need to scale it (at least the top and the bottom of the fish) or else it will be very difficult to fillet it. Bone fish have big scales. The scales are like armor, which makes it difficult for the knife to cut through when trying to fillet. Also, if you scale it before cutting it there is much less chance that scales will end up in your fishcake.

Toothpaste method more bettah. Remove the head, remove the guts, then freeze. Unfreeze, and then use a rolling pin and you can just toothpaste out the meat only.
